SharePoint2010 : Creating Surveys

Creating
surveys and recording response in SharePoint is a very useful feature of any
intranet or internet facing site. Surveys can be recorded periodically every quarter
or monthly based on organizations. This blog post shows how to create a survey
and record responses from the audiences.

You
must log on to your SharePoint site with admin rights.

Click
on View All Site Content and click on Create

Select
Lists from the left and select Surveys from the list

Enter
the name of your survey and click on Create.

Now
that our list is created, it’s time to enter the questions for the survey.

Enter
your question and click on Next Question until you finish entering all your
questions one by one. While filling in the questions, you can select the field
type for each question and proceed. You can also branch your users according to
their responses, how to do that, we will see later in this post.

Now
that you have finished entering all your questions, you should click on Finish
which will take you to the list settings page where you can see all your
questions listed. Now, you can click on the question you want to put branching
on and enter the branching criteria. Finally when all this is done, you are
good to test your survey. Click on the survey list from the left hand navigation
which will take you to the survey list. Click on Respond to survey for filling
in the answer to the questions and submit your survey. Now, if you want the
audiences to have only the survey submission rights and they should not be able
to view what others are submitting, restrict access to the library accordingly.
